The Bearded Lady and Lobster Boy are a Valentine’s Day match made in freak show heaven.

“There is someone for everyone. It is just knowing when you find them,” Lobster Boy — aka Grady Stiles III — told HuffPost.

Unsurprisingly, Stiles and his hairy better half, Jessica Olmstead, fell in love while working at the Venice Beach Freakshow.

“The first time I saw Jessa, I was amazed that she can grow a bigger beard than me,” said Stiles, who appeared on a “Freakshow” episode on AMC. “It didn’t take long for me to know we were meant for each other.”

The hirsute Olmstead, 30, said Stiles — who was born with ectrodactyly, a congenital disorder that produces claw-like hands and feet — tickles her fancy.

“The man makes me laugh,” she said. “We were cool from the start.”

Todd Ray, who runs the Venice Beach Freakshow, said the two are a good match.

“Jessa is a bubbly, happy, nurturing person with a fun, devious side. She loves history, especially the Renaissance,” Ray said. “Grady is nice, caring, and just a genuinely good person. He loves to play video games and go to comic book conventions.”
